That's why I never challenge anyone in the woods. I slink away in the opposite direction whenever I see a human in the woods, Just like a big buck would.
This is really good advice actually! In the many years I have been hunting I have seen way too many confrontations between hunters. Luckily none of them ended up the way this incident did, but none the less it makes NO sense to start something when people have weapons in their hands. For all the enjoyment I have gotten out of hunting over the years, I must admit that there is way too much nonsense that happens in the hunting world. I don't know why this is, but you generally don't here such crazy things from hikers, fisherman, campers, bikers, skiers, etc. Hunting just seems to attract a lot of nutcases I guess, and it does nothing to help our image. I guess some see hunting as a legal way to be allowed to carry a gun and it appears that some think that they could use it on another human being also.
